  3. Even though we live very far away from the family down under, we were still able to get to know and your family during my holiday together with my sister Joyce in 2008. We were welcomed into your home and got to spend Alex’s 18th birthday with the family and his friends. It was great spending this time with you! Rest in peace in your hometown Mansfield together with Pat and Bill!

  7. Darling Briano,

    I can’t believe you have left this world far too young. We knew each other for half our lifetime. The tall Dutchman, good looking and good hearted. Your manner was firm but with softness, always that glint in your eye and a lovely smile. You’ll be missed. Much love and my deepest sympathies to my beautiful friend Emma and Alex, Luke and family xo
